CG United Super50 tourney: CCC thump Scorpions by 121 runs via DLS method

The Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) handed Jamaica their fourth consecutive loss of the CG United Regional Super50 tournament when they defeated the Scorpions by a 121-run margin in a rain-affected match played at the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground yesterday.
Asked to bat, CCC posted 320 for seven in 48 overs. Scorpions, the defending champions, required 321 in 48 overs, but were reduced to 198 all out in 32.4 overs.
Both CCC openers, Johann Jeremiah and Kadeem Alleyne, chalked up half-centuries, but the top score of 71 made by Demario Richards piloted CCC to an imposing total.

Richards smashed nine boundaries, including two sixes, during his 82-ball innings, while adding 79 for the fifth wicket with Jordan Johnson, who made 41 from 40 balls despite rain interrupting the match with CCC on 206 for four.
Richards also shared in a 71-run stand for the fourth wicket with his captain Shane Dowrich (32).
Alleyne raced to 51 from 30 balls, hitting three sixes and six fours as he piled on 73 for the opening wicket with Jeremiah, before top-edging to mid-off off Fabien Allen. Soon after, rain halted play with CCC on 78 for one.
Jeremiah was joined by Shatrughan Rambaran, and the pair put on 56 for the second wicket, with Jeremiah scoring 56 from 50 balls. His innings was highlighted by nine fours and one six, before culminating when he was bowled by Brad Barnes.
When the Scorpions batted, Chadwick Walton and Jermaine Blackwood laid a solid foundation by putting on 42, before Blackwood was bowled by Guyanese seamer Isai Thorne.
Walton went on to bring up his 10th List A half-century with a four over the bowler’s head, his eighth four of the innings, but was bowled by Romario Greaves while attempting to paddle the ball down to fine leg. Greaves struck two balls later when he took the wicket of Nkrumah Bonner, who feathered a faint edge to Dowrich behind the stumps. Greaves eventually ended with 4-51, his best bowling figures in List A cricket.
Odean Smith made 35 while Barnes chipped in with 31, and Allen and Kirk McKenzie each made 18 runs. Thorne, Akshaya Persaud and Abhijai Mansingh each picked up two wickets.
